I took advantage of visiting Spencer to see the new Pirates movie. Frankly, it was a big disappointment. Jack Sparrow is charming in the original series, but his character is starting to wear on me. I realize more and more that "Captain" Jack Sparrow is totally self centered and without a shred of morality,. What was once cute is now annoying.

The movie is visually beautiful. The story, the search for the fountain of youth is a good backdrop. My favorite characters were the Spaniards who provide something of a twist at the end.

Like the Harry Potter series I find the later movies to be less and less appealing. I doubt I will bother with Pirates #5. I am sure there will be one.
